Hello everyone,
I have a small problem. We had a breakthrough made in our house between the kitchen and the dining room. Two IPE240 beams were calculated by the structural engineer and also installed. These were, of course, wrapped with expanded metal mesh to provide appropriate support for the plaster. Now there are discussions between my drywall installer and the plasterer/mason about how to cover the beams.
Var. A: Align plaster corners on the beams and fix them with Rotband; after drying, then smooth all three sides with Rotband.
Var. B: On the underside, bring a 12.5 mm drywall with setting adhesive into alignment and support it. After hardening, smooth the two side cheeks with Rotband.
Var. B is considered difficult by the mason, as the panel can never be cut and aligned accurately. The drywall installer says that with Var. A, you can’t align the plaster corners well enough to smooth it out.
Does anyone have experience with this or know anything for or against the mentioned methods?
Best regards
